Flour Tortillas ❤️ Diet-Friendly Option Included

I ran out of bread flour at home and my new order hasn't arrived yet, so I put my all-purpose flour to work (see the end of the post for a diet-friendly version).

🍍 Ingredients: (Makes 16 tortillas)

All-purpose flour 450g, salt 5g, baking powder 5g, olive oil, canola oil, or other cooking oil 40g, water 240g. (Water absorption varies slightly across flours, so adjust the water amount as needed.)

🍍 Instructions:

🎈 Stir the flour, salt, and baking powder together with chopsticks. Slowly pour in the warm water and oil while stirring with chopsticks until shaggy flakes form, then knead briefly by hand. Cover with plastic wrap and let the dough rest for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, knead again and it will easily come together into a smooth dough.

🎈 Once smooth, divide the dough into 16 equal pieces, roll into balls, and cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap to rest for 15 to 20 minutes (any time under 2 hours is fine).

🎈 Take one dough ball, dust the work surface with flour, and roll it out into a thin round.

Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Lay the tortilla in the hot pan. Once bubbles puff up on the surface, flip it over and cook briefly on the other side. Transfer to a plate and cover immediately with a clean kitchen towel so they stay soft and don't dry out.

🎈 Repeat with the remaining 15 dough balls, and dig in!

🎊 Wrap them around your favorite meats and veggies, or eat them plain since they are fragrant and delicious on their own.

For a diet-friendly version, replace part or all of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour, adjusting the water amount as needed while keeping the method the same. Enjoy them plain or wrap them with bacon, avocado, or your favorite low-fat, low-calorie fillings.
